Within our International Investment Funds, our bond-selection process is focused on identifying creditworthy issuers, individual credit trends and attractively valued securities, as well as making relative and absolute valuation comparisons between securities of different issuers and capital ranking.

Description
To seek a high income from a spread of fixed interest securities. The fund aims to pay dividends above the level of short-term sterling interest rates. This will result in a gradual reduction in the capital value of the shares, except when bond prices generally are rising. The Fund will normally hold a relatively wide range of securities in order to keep a low level of exposure to individual bond issues other than government securities. The Fund may also hold a substantial part of its assets in bank deposits and money market instruments from time to time. The Fund is permitted to invest in securities denominated in currencies other than sterling.

Risk Level
Low to medium risk: For the investor who is only willing to take modest risk, where there may be some fluctuation in capital value and or income returns.
